Nearing the second anniversary of the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, gun control advocates are renewing their drive in Congress for tougher gun laws. It was on Dec. 14, 2012 that a mentally disturbed gunman killed 20 children and 6 teachers and staffers at Sandy Hook.

Sandy Hook Elementary School teacher Laura
Feinstein was one of nine
families who received a Goldendoodle puppy from
a litter born on the
same day as the school shooting. She shares how
her new puppy, Zeus,
has brought love and joy into her life since
the tragedy.

The trend of stationing police officers inside
schools is on the rise. At least three districts
in the D.C. metro area are publicly mulling an
increased security force, along with school
systems across the country.
